@@SamM-gg4ug we're so happy you found this video helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Oh, that's too bad. Hope your getting it replaced. I have to say, that motor, and the gears, do sound like they work pretty hard to rotate the turn table. We're hoping it holds up over the long haul. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey derricksmith9524, we're glad you found the video helpful! We're going to put our powered switches to the test on our next layout. We'll cover it all in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Completely forgot about smoke demo during that unboxing. Smoke does work well though. If you want to see the smoke check out the Dementors Car video. We've got the smoke going there. Thanks for watching!

Hey Lazysignalman, we did not see anything in the instructions about a manual setting. There's nothing about the construction that suggests it can or should be turned manually. There's a lot of delicate gear work there and it's pretty much all enclosed. There may be someone out there who knows differently, but I'm going to say no. Thanks for watching and for your question!

Thanks for watching victorpaul904! Yes, that steam locomotive is quite a sight. Especially up close. It was a lot of fun watching it in action push up that mountainside!

We hope you had a great time! We're hoping to get there again this year as well.

Hi Promontory! Hope you had a good thanksgiving as well. In all honesty, we have not taken the plunge into the world of DCC yet. We'd like to start getting familiar with it soon as it's very limiting to be able to run only one locomotive on a track. I don't think I can give you a recommendation based on my inexperience with DCC. I hope some knowledgeable hobbyist can help you out. I took a quick look at the HO Bachmann GP40 on the Bachmann site. Nice looking locomotive! I hope you have good luck with it. Thanks for watching!

I'm new to this hobby also and I do see how some people feel it beneficial to run all of their accessories and or switches off of a separate power supply like this video shows. When you get into a lot of accessories it does make sense. The important thing is you can control your switches / accessories such building lights from one central location. Just label your switches and turn outs so you know what switch to throw. EDIT: However, Yes, you can run your DCC turnouts directly from a Bachmann EZ Command system, meaning you do not need a separate power supply for the switches; the EZ Command unit can provide power to control your DCC turnouts as part of your overall DCC system

Hi principe1216, Thanks for watching and for your question. I think I understand the question which I think is.. do you connect the red wires coming from your accessory - in this case the turnout's slide switch that opens and closes the turnout - to the screws marked ONLY CONNECT ACCESSORIES. Based on your description, the answer should be yes. Any accessory wiring should go the the power supply terminal screws labeled as the accessory connections. Again, that's based my understanding of your description. Hope that helps and good luck!

@@cliveroberts5748 Great question! Mostly out of inexperience with that packaging. Another commenter told us how easy it actually was. That said, it probably wouldn’t have mattered as we don’t keep the packaging anyway. I realize that’s sacrilegious to serious collectors, but we store our rolling stock/locomotives in water/moisture tight plastic containers. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey JerseyBill, thanks for the watching and for the comment! This ride is one of our favorites. It was shot spontaneously with a Samsung Galaxy S24. Normally we would do this more orderly like starting at the beginning on Main Street and ending on Main Street (and shot with our better camera). However, we were at Magic Kingdom with a big family group and we had to go with the flow. Glad you liked the video!

@@Northeasttrainyard S24, I'm still using my S7, and I was wondering how the new phones were, but you answered my question, and the quality of the video was excellent. It clearly has dynamic stabilizing. Thanks for replying.

Hi brendanthetankengine21, yes this has a chuff. There is an electrical connection/plug between the locomotive and tender. The bottom of the tender has a speaker and a knob for on/off volume. Thanks for watching!

@@NortheasttrainyardHello. The small oval hatch on the tender that you described as a “water hatch”, should be for a 9 volt battery. Hope that helps. Nice video.

@@joshespadas6719 I looked at this right after I read your comment and sure enough there's a 9 volt battery compartment there! Thanks for pointing that out. The battery in there was fairly new so I think we must have changed it at some point and then simply forgot the compartment was there. That train was used as our Christmas tree train for years. We were going to sell/give it away when we thought we'd try it on the garden railroad. It actually runs really well out there so decided to keep it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Victor is a cool looking locomotive. Love the saddle tanks. Interesting history too.

You're referring to a reversing loop, correct? I don't think powering the switch should effect the track power. The switch power simply moves the switch points back and forth as far as I know. We've never done an HO reversing loop before, but from what I've researched your track power problem may be due to polarity issues. So, lets say your reversing loop is running on the straightaway in a left to right direction into the switch and loop. When it comes out of the loop back onto the straightaway (or maybe even before this), it will be running in a right to left direction. This is opposite of the original direction hence possible polarity issues. I don't know your layout specifics so I could be wrong in this case, but that's my guess (and you may already know this). Good luck!

@@harwickbranch Agreed. I’m a big MCU fan but I like the Hollywood theming way better than the Marvel Campus stuff. I also enjoyed the Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout ride, but nothing beat that view of the Hollywood tower of terror when you rounded the corner onto Sunset blvd. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey sodor_dan-da-man, thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, our research said these cars ran in groups of 3 (or 4?) in real life though Daisy ran solo. Also, thanks for pointing out the proper name for the destination boards. We've been learning a lot along the way by knowledgeable people such as yourself. Thanks again for watching!

* They are NOT based on BR Mark 1s. BR Mark 1s have smooth, steel bodies without all the fancy mouldings around the windows and doors. These are actually based on pre-grouping Midland Railway carriages (because like with a *lot* of the rolling stock they just re-used existing toolings). * It's actually not too hard to pop the carbody off the chassis for a clear look at the interior insert. If you do so, you can see additional details in the form of a dividing door in the corridor between the first-class and third-class sections, and armrests on the first-class seats. * Prior to the HiT era, it was actually the _red_ coaches that were associated with the Express. It started when the shortened red coaches were introduced in "No Joke For James" and persisted until Series 8. * Fun fact about the underframe detail: The round, somewhat dome-shaped detail, represents a dynamo that on the real thing would be spun by a belt on the coach wheel to generate electricity for the lights. * When it comes to opening the packages, I prefer to cut the melt-knitted edges off instead of damaging the cards. * Technically, it might only be the strapping on that coal wagon that's painted. The chassis is certainly just bare plastic, don't know about the wagon body. * The things you referred to as fenders are generally called either splashers or (more formally) wheel arches. * On Henry's show models, there's actually a water pump on that rear shelf on the tender - and the shelf extends a bit further inward. It's also only the side walls that are scalloped (the front wall is straight, and actually set back a bit). The tender is also taller. And has a black chassis (a pity Gordon and Henry weren't updated on that score at the same time James was; all three of them could also stand retooling to have longer posts like Edward does). * That silver "piping" is actually molded handrails. Basically, every standard-gauge engine prior to Ryan had their handrails (if any) molded as part of the body to simplify manufacturing. And on pre-Duck engines, the molding of said railings is on the crude side. * Technically, that's actually just a safety valve on top of the firebox. Henry's new shape didn't properly gain an actual whistle (at least, on the main model) until the CGI era. Fun fact: Originally, Henry had _two_ safety valves on his firebox. But when the models were being refurbished for Thomas and the Magic Railroad, one of them was transferred to Gordon to replace one of Gordon's that went missing (in fact, I suspect *all* of Gordon's original firebox adornments went missing: he actually has a different whistle from TatMR onward, and Edward is missing _his_ safety valve from Series 6 onward. It's possible the whistle was raided from Henry's old shape firebox, although it could also be a brand new piece.) * The lack of backhead detail in Henry's cab is definitely disappointing, as is the front windows only being painted on. * Ye gods Bachmann needs to make an E-Z Track-compatible crossing kit already. * Nice layout and running shots!

Hi mixvm7984! Thanks for watching and commenting! The music playing in the Casey Jr video was added in post. The actual ride uses the Casey Jr theme music from the Dumbo movie and we assumed it was copyrighted so we replaced it. We would love to use music from popular movies such as The Polar Express (and many others). I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that music might be copyrighted too. Great suggestion, though!

Hi calebherring387! According to my son, we've had the paint can flatbed since around 2010-ish. Probably the only place you'll find it now will be sites like Ebay or Mercari. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey marcvonheleb, you're thinking about just running accessories (in this case your switches) off of a separate, dedicated DC power supply while the track power is still DCC? We're not experienced DCC users, but I don't see why that wouldn't work. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for watching!

@@Northeasttrainyard thanks, will give it try

Did it work? I need to know for my upcoming layout

@LemonadeBrosGaming I have not got it to work. However, I might not have it set up right or wired correctly. I think I'm even missing some wires. Sorry, I wish I could be of more help.

@@marcvonhebel3475 It’s fine, I will try it when I build my layout.

Agreed! Some of our locomotives are too long for the turntable. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for the nice comments! Much appreciated. Stay tuned for our next video where we attach the turntable to the layout and interface the shed to the turntable! Thanks for watching!

Yes, the Bachmann Thomas building (the ones you mention above) are super high quality! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@Mason_Cars_Tour that is the USA Trains 0-6-0 Docksider. Its the Boston and Maine version. Super nice locomotive. One of our favs!

The Tidmouth sheds and turntable will be an awesome addition to our layout. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I'm not sure at the moment.. They accommodate the Bachmann E-Z track which is pretty high and there is plenty of clearance. We'll be putting out a video where we attach the turntable and sheds to the layout. We'll measure the door clearance and include it in the that video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
